For Broadcast
Some, classes were dismissed

Inaugural Speech of President

practice for years when an outstanding speech was broadcast.
The vpices of Mussolini, Hitler,
(translated by Miss Matt), King
Edward on his abdication from
the throne, Winston Churchill,
Roosevelt, and now Eisenhower
have been heard by students and
faculty on these occasions.
Kortz Interviewed
Mr. Phillip Kortz was interviewed by Burnie Lusk on his Sports
Program concerning the Rochester Junior College-Northwestern
Polio Benefit game held Tuesday
night, January 20th at the armory.
Robert Brown
Heads Optics
A few students know that on
January first a new member was
added to the RJC faculty. He is
Mr. Robert E. Brown, who heads
the Ophthalmic Optics course
here at RJC, to replace Mr. Don
Krebs, who has been transferred
to Bloomington, Illinois.
His optical experience came to
him the hard way. He started in
1933 as an apprentice lens grinder in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, then
from 1937 to 1938 he was at
Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where
he worked as an all-around optical lab man. Mr. Brown then
went back to Eau Claire where
he. was a resident manager. On
January 1, 1953, he came to
Rochester where he took over the
Benson Wholesale Laboratory,
and joined the RJC faculty. Mr.
Brown attended Eau Claire State
where he studied science.
Since the optics course is new
and Mr. Brown is taking over a
big job, he was asked what he
had to say about the Ophthalmic
Optics course. His answer was
that the instructors want to make
the course interesting and give
the student the type of educaion
that he expects. The perpetuation
of the course will come about
naturally, he thinks, since he expects students who have graduated from this path of study to tell
others about the school and its
benefits.
Mr. Brown is married and has
three daughters aged 16, 8, and
6. His hobbies are fishing, and
out-of-door cooking at picnics.

is a basic unity in humanity which may be discovered by comparative
study of literature.
The series has been divided into four separate lectures, each
stressing one phase or one man of a particular national group and
pointing up the national peculiarities and the common tendencies of
each in relation to the other.

19th Century Russian Literature — Richard R. Marsh, Associate Professor of Humanities at Hamline University in
St. Paul, will trace the major
trends of Russian Literatures
as they appear in such great
writers as Dostoevsky and
Tolstoi.
February 17 — The German Novelist, Thomas Mann — Dr.
Frederick Pfeiffer, Associate
Professor in the German Department at the University of
Minnesota and an Authority
on the writings of Thomas
Mann and Goethe, will draw
comparisons between t h e
Faust-Idea in Thomas Mann
and in Goethe and Marlowe.
March 3 — 19th Century French
Literature — Dr. Francis Barton, Chairman of the Department of Romance Languages
at the University of Minnesota, will indicate the thought
of French Literature up to
World War I and trace its
influences on other national
literatures.
March 10 — Scandinavian Folklore — Dr. Theodore Jorgenson, Chairman of the Norwegian Department at St.
Olaf College in Northfleid,
will show how the Scandinavian culture and the people
are reflected in the folklore
of the Scandinavian countries.
Each meeting will be followed
by a discussion period, during
which the lecturer and the group
as a whole may go into greater
detail.
Tickets may be purchased from
ony member of the English Council; in the Evening Community Col-

not go to the Merry-Go-Round
and their reasons for not going.
Students are urged to air any
complaints because the results received will determine what future
action, if any, will be taken. Regardless of whether or not the

Round, it is asked that they please
fill out the questionnaire and return it to the boxes of Frank Roller or John Dreher.
